The majority of today’s vehicles use semi-metallic brake pads, which offer excellent performance. Because of the metal-to-metal contact involving semi-metallic pads, the sounds generated by the brake system under normal operation can be greater than the sounds produced by vehicles equipped with previous-generation brake pads. Depending on the local environment, weather conditions and individual driving patterns, sounds from the braking system may be more or less apparent.

Frequent, aggressive brake application increases the wear of brake components and can reduce the potential for brake noise. Frequent, light brake application allows glazing to develop on the brake surface, which increases the potential for brake noise.

Brake Noise

Brakes 33

Brake dust is a result of friction created by brake pads and discs during braking. As brake pads and discs make contact during braking, they wear down, which causes dust particles to be expelled. This is a normal characteristic of all brake systems and is not an indicator of a defect.

Brake Dust

Important Safety Instructions and Warnings

Audi connect®

• Only use Audi connect® services when road and traffic

conditions permit. Using these services could increase the risk

of an accident. Some Audi connect® services are only available

when the vehicle is stationary to reduce the risk of distracting

the driver.

• To reduce the risk of a collision, use the Audi connect® services

with a Wi-Fi hotspot in the rear seat only if the vehicle is in

motion or only when the vehicle is stationary.

• As the driver, do not allow usage of the Wi-Fi hotspots to

distract you from driving, as it could increase the risk of an

accident.

• It is only safe to use laptops and similar mobile devices when

the vehicle is stationary because, like all loose objects, they

could be thrown around the inside of the vehicle in a crash and

cause serious injuries. Store these types of devices securely while

driving.

• Do not use any Wi-Fi devices in the front seats within range

of the airbags. Read and follow the safety precautions in the

separate vehicle owner’s manual in the “Airbag System” chapter

under “Important information about the front airbag system”.

Automatic Climate Control

• Reduced visibility is dangerous and can cause accidents.

• For safe driving it is very important that all windows be free of

ice, snow and condensation.

• Completely familiarize yourself with the proper use and

function of the heating and ventilation system and especially

how to defog and defrost the windows.

• Never use the windshield wiper/washer system in freezing

weather until you have warmed the windshield first, using the

heating and ventilation system. The washer solution may freeze

on the windshield and reduce visibility.

• Do not use the recirculation for extended periods of time. The

windows could fog up since no fresh air can enter the vehicle.

If the windows fog up, press the air recirculation button again

immediately to switch off the air recirculation function or select

defrost.

BLUETOOTH® Pairing

• Collisions and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.

Speaking on or using a phone while driving can distract the

driver from traffic.

• Select the volume settings so that the acoustic signals from

the outside are still audible (e.g., the sirens of emergency

rescue vehicles.) Observe legal regulations.

• In areas with no or poor mobile network coverage

and possibly in tunnels, garages and subways, phone

conversations may be interrupted, and it may be impossible

to make phone calls, even emergency calls!

• In some countries, emergency calls may only be supported

when the mobile phone is connected to a mobile phone

package which has a SIM card that is “not blocked” and/or

has sufficient credit on it.

• Unmounted or improperly mounted mobile phones can fly

around in the event of a sudden driving or braking maneuver

or a collision. This may cause injury.

• Never place or mount a mobile phone on doors, on

the windshield or on or near the area on the steering

wheel marked “AIRBAG,” the instrument panel, the seat

backrests or the areas between these points and the driver/

passengers. Mobile phones can lead to serious injuries in

cases of collisions, especially when the airbags are inflated.

• Always switch off your mobile telephone at gas

stations or wherever there is a fire or explosion hazard.

Electromagnetic radiation can cause sparks which can start

fires.

• The mobile phone will automatically connect to the

mobile network when the Bluetooth connection to the

mobile phone package is disconnected.

• Using a radio device in the vehicle without a connection to

an external antenna might exceed electromagnetic

radiation thresholds. This also applies if the external antenna is

not installed properly.

• Keep a distance of at least eight inches between the

antennas of the mobile phone and a pacemaker, since mobile

phones can affect the functionality of a pacemaker.

• Keep a distance of at least eight inches between the antennas

of the mobile phone and a pacemaker, since mobile phones can

affect the functionality of a pacemaker.

• Do not carry a mobile phone on standby mode in the breast

pocket directly on top of a pacemaker.

• If interference is suspected, immediately switch off the mobile

phone.

• Always keep the armrest closed while driving. The center

armrest can interfere with the driver’s elbow movement and thus

cause collisions and severe injuries.

Brakes• Do not press the accelerator pedal inadvertently if the vehicle

is stationary and the engine is running and a gear is selected.

Otherwise the vehicle will start to move immediately and could

result in a crash.

• New brake pads don’t have the best stopping power and must

be “broken-in” during the initial 100 to 150 miles (150 to 200

kilometers) of normal city driving. You can compensate for this by

pressing the brake pedal more firmly. This also applies later when

new pads are installed.

• You should perform braking maneuvers for the purpose of

cleaning the brake system only if road conditions permit. Other

road users must not be put at risk - you may cause an accident!

• Before descending a steep grade, reduce speed and shift

transmission into a lower gear or lower driving range. Do not ride

the brakes or hold the pedal down too long or too often. This

could cause the brakes to get hot and diminish braking efficiency.

• Do not “ride the brakes” by resting your foot on the pedal

when you do not intend to brake. This may cause the brakes to

overheat, premature wear and increased stopping distance.

• Under certain climatic and operating conditions such as passing

through water, driving in heavy rain or after washing the vehicle,

the effectiveness of the brakes can be reduced. In winter, ice can

accumulate on the brake pads, linings, discs and drums. Carefully

apply brakes for a test. Brakes will dry and ice coatings will be

cleaned off after a few careful brake applications.

• Driving for an extended period of time on salt covered roads

without using your brakes can also affect braking efficiency.

Clean off accumulated salt coating from brake discs and pads

with a few careful brake applications.

• If you damage the front spoiler, or if you install a different

spoiler, be sure the airflow to the front brakes is not obstructed.

Otherwise the brake system could overheat reducing the

effectiveness of the entire brake system.

• Failure of one brake circuit will impair the braking capability

resulting in an increased stopping distance. Avoid driving the

vehicle and have it towed to the nearest Audi dealer or qualified

workshop.

• Never let the vehicle roll to a stop with the engine shut off.

• If the brake booster is not working, the brake pedal must be

pressed considerably harder to make up for the lack of booster

assistance.

Cruise Control• Always pay attention to traffic even when the cruise control is

switched on. You are always responsible for your speed and the

distance between your vehicle and other vehicles.

• For safety reasons, the cruise control should not be used in

the city, in stop-and-go traffic, on twisting roads and when

road conditions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and

hydroplaning) - risk of accident.

• Turn off the cruise control temporarily when entering turn

lanes, highway exit lanes or in construction zones.

• Please note that inadvertently “resting” your foot on the

accelerator pedal causes the cruise control not to brake. This

is because the cruise control is overridden by the driver’s

acceleration.

• If a brake system malfunction such as overheating occurs when

the cruise control system is switched on, the braking function

in the system may be switched off. The other cruise control

functions remain active as long as the indicator light is on.

• You should only return to the saved speed if it is not too fast for

the current traffic conditions - risk of an accident!

Navigation & Infotainment• The demands of traffic require your full attention.

• Obey all traffic laws when driving.

• The route calculated by the navigation system is a

recommendation for reaching your destination. Obey traffic

lights, stopping restrictions, one-way streets, lane change

restrictions, etc.

Start-Stop System• Never let the vehicle roll with the engine switched off. You

could lose control over the vehicle. This can lead to a collision

and serious injuries.

• The brake booster and the steering support do not work while

the engine is switched off. More force is required to stop and to

steer the vehicle.

• To reduce the risk of injuries, make sure that the Start-Stop

System is turned off when working in the engine compartment.

• Never allow the engine to run in confined spaces - danger of

asphyxiation.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)• If the tire pressure indicator appears in the instrument cluster

display, one or more of your tires is significantly under inflated.

Reduce your speed immediately and avoid any hard steering

or braking maneuvers. Stop as soon as possible and check the

tires and their pressures. Inflate the tire pressure to the proper

pressure as indicated on the vehicle’s tire pressure label. Driving

on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat

and can lead to tire failure. Under inflation also is likely to impair

the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

• The driver is responsible for maintaining the correct tire

pressures. You must check the tire pressures regularly.

• Under certain conditions (such as a sporty driving style, winter

conditions or unpaved roads), the pressure monitor indicator

may be delayed.

• Ask your authorized Audi dealer if run flat tires may be used

on your vehicle. Your vehicle registration becomes invalid if you

use these tires when not permitted. Damage to your vehicle or

accidents could also result.

Voice Recognition

• Driving requires your complete and undivided attention. As

the driver, you have complete responsibility for safety in traffic.

Only use the MMI® system when traffic conditions permit and

always in a way that allows you to maintain complete control

over your vehicle.

• Adjust the volume of the audio system so signals from outside

the vehicle such as police and fire sirens can be heard easily at

all times.

• Always follow the safety precautions when using the Audi

connect® services and when using the wireless hotspot.

• Obey all applicable laws regarding use of telephones in vehicles.

• Medical experts warn that cell phones can interfere with the

function of pacemakers. Always maintain a minimum distance

of 20 centimeters between the cell phone antenna and the

pacemaker.

• Do not carry the cell phone in a pocket directly over the

pacemaker when the phone is switched on.

• Switch the cell phone off immediately if you suspect it may be

interfering with the pacemaker.

• Do not use voice recognition system in emergencies because

your voice may change in stressful situations. It may take longer

to dial the number or the system may not be able to dial it at all.

Dial the emergency number manually.

• Switch your cell phone off in areas at risk for an explosion.

These locations are not always clearly marked. They may

include gas stations, equipment that stores or transports fuel

or chemicals, or locations where fuel vapors (such as propane

or gasoline vapor in vehicles or buildings), chemicals or large

quantities of dust particles (such as flour, sawdust or metal) may

be present in the air. This also applies to all other locations where

you would normally switch your vehicle off.

• Pay attention to the traffic reports when making a call.

• Please devote your full attention to driving. As the driver,

you have complete responsibility for safety in traffic. Only use

the functions in such a way that you always maintain complete

control over your vehicle in all traffic situations.
